French Onion Grilled Cheese with Saxony Alpine

French Onion Soup You Can Hold In Your Hand

Two of my favorite things in one beautiful creation. This grilled cheese is juicy with all that French onion flavor. And it has more cheese than the soup!

Alpine cheeses like Swiss Gruyere are the classic choice for French onion soup. They melt into silk and bring beefy, caramelized flavor that complements the onions. For this grilled cheese, I used a Wisconsin version, Saxony Alpine Style from Saxon Creamery.

Caramelized onions take a little time to get that jammy consistency, but it’s so worth it. Make an extra large batch, because you’re going to want it on everything. Pair this grilled cheese with a malty Belgian ale or a porter for an especially indulgent, stick-to-your-ribs experience.
